Mobile Avatar and the 'larger' person

Have Googled this but many answers are from May so I was looking for a more up to date answer based on experience.

How is the Avatar ride for the larger person.
Large in case one is over 6ft but quite slenderish
In the other case it's a heavily chested sized 20 female.
I know there's test seats but I'm curious to hear peoples experiences with this ride.

I don't think you will have any problems but maybe someone will have more info.

We go next week with similar stats to yourself but my friend was there is may (big boobs too) and she said you had to kind of lift em over the front of the seat and then sit down.
Not a good look if there was a ride pics and not comfy for any length of time but it worked for her.

A cast member advised she sit that way so I think they are clued up and will offer advic before you try to sit in the seat... or so I'm hoping anyway

I'm a size 20-22 and has no problems at all. I was worried as I'd read it could be tight but was quite comfortable.

I am similar size and did exactly that , lift them over and I fitted easily then, it wasn't uncomfortable at all.

DS is 19 and 6ft 2 and average build and he struggled to fit more, the CM told him how to sit and he was fine then and on our second visit he knew how to sit so had no problems.

Enjoy the ride, it really is amazing.

I'm glad you asked this, I've been really worried about possibly having to do the walk of shame, on my own too!
